The image of the Suffragette is one that has been honed for a century so that a very specific image is presented. It is one of proper women, the ideal of the Englishwoman, fighting for her rights, in the right way. This is not how it was and in her biography of Kitty Marion, Fern Riddell shows us that Mrs Banks had some far more interesting friends and how the Pankhursts made sure they were hidden in the shadows of history.
